About the author
Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez
916听books39.8k听followersGabriel Jos茅 de la Concordia Garc铆颅a M谩rquez was a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist. Garc铆颅a M谩rquez, familiarly known as "Gabo" in his native country, was considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He studied at the University of Bogot谩 and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best-known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled as magical realism, which uses magical elements and events in order to explain real experiences. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo, and most of them express the theme of solitude.
Having previously written shorter fiction and screenplays, Garc铆a M谩rquez sequestered himself away in his Mexico City home for an extended period of time to complete his novel Cien a帽os de soledad, or One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967. The author drew international acclaim for the work, which ultimately sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. Garc铆a M谩rquez is credited with helping introduce an array of readers to magical realism, a genre that combines more conventional storytelling forms with vivid, layers of fantasy.
Another one of his novels, El amor en los tiempos del c贸lera (1985), or Love in the Time of Cholera, drew a large global audience as well. The work was partially based on his parents' courtship and was adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem. Garc铆a M谩rquez wrote seven novels during his life, with additional titles that include El general en su laberinto (1989), or The General in His Labyrinth, and Del amor y otros demonios (1994), or Of Love and Other Demons.

El General en su Laberinto = The General in His Labyrinth, Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez
The General in His Labyrinth is a 1989 dictator novel by Colombian writer and Nobel laureate Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez. It is a fictionalized account of the last seven months of Sim贸n Bol铆var, liberator and leader of Gran Colombia.
The book traces Bol铆var's final journey from Bogot谩 to the Caribbean coastline of Colombia in his attempt to leave South America for exile in Europe.
Breaking with the traditional heroic portrayal of Bol铆var El Libertador (Spanish for "liberator"), Garc铆a M谩rquez depicts a pathetic protagonist, a prematurely aged man who is physically ill and mentally exhausted.
The story explores the labyrinth of Bol铆var's life through the narrative of his memories, in which "despair, sickness, and death inevitably win out over love, health, and life".

This is wonderful. Dense with historical incident, deft characterization, and the telling detail that is Garc铆a M谩rquez's hallmark. It's the story of Sim贸n Bol铆var--he who liberated South America from Spanish colonial tyranny--and his retreat from public life just prior to his death. The great trick of the novel is to make condensed passages of historical summary ring with life through the recollections of the dying General. Predictably perhaps he obsessively catalogs his enemies' perfidies which on some level seem to be the disease which is killing him, though it's actually TB. Such is the loyalty of the man's officers that just before his death he sends them off on various guerilla missions to undermine the governments of his enemies. Despite the sure knowledge of his impending death he seeks to promote insurrection instead of harmony.
It is for this reason that John Lynch, one of Bol铆var's biographers, detests the popular idea of the man as the "George Washington of South America." Truly, he was nothing of the kind. He allowed himself to be named Liberator and Dictator of Peru and through the Oca帽a Convention named himself Bolivia's "president for life" with the ability to pass on the title. He needlessly promulgated multiple contradictory edicts. He was against popular representative government. Though, paradoxically, he believed in a US-style federalist union for South America, he was incapable of putting goals for the growth of inclusive democratic institutions above his petty enmities, as Washington did with such aplomb time after time.
(N.B. Washington was a Virginia plantation owner who freed his slaves upon his death in 1799. All U.S. slaves were freed by Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. See . It was 1816, however, when Bolivar manumitted the slaves of South America, including his own.)
We also meet his longtime, forebearing lover, Manuela S谩enz, and find her to be as formidable a character as the General himself. At one point some weeks after after the General and his retinue have traveled into exile on a cortege of barges down the Magdalena, she incites civil unrest back in Santa Fe de Bogata against his enemies:
So a beautifully written if dense narrative that satisfies on multiple levels. Do read it. One final note, there's no magic realism here as in or . But the narrative is nonchronological which demands an attentive reader. This is no in-flight or beach read! I found it deeply satisfying.

In an attempt to make her life impossible, the Ministry of the Interior had asked her to turn over the [General's] archives she had in her care. She refused and set in motion a campaign of provocations that drove the government mad. In the company of two of her warrior slavewomen [manumitted] she fomented scandals, distributed pamphlets glorifying the General, and erased charcoal slogans scrawled on public walls. It was common knowledge that she entered barracks wearing the uniform of a colonel and was apt to take part in the soldiers' fiestas as in the officers' conspiracies. The most serious rumor was that right under Urdaneta's nose she was promoting an armed rebellion to reestablish the absolute power of the General.
So a beautifully written if dense narrative that satisfies on multiple levels. Do read it. One final note, there's no magic realism here as in or . But the narrative is nonchronological which demands an attentive reader. This is no in-flight or beach read! I found it deeply satisfying.

In this book, Gabriel Garcia Marquez gives us his vision of an emblematic figure of modern South American history: Simon Bolivar, "El Libertador." Herald and hero of independence, a vigorous defender of Latin American unity, Simon Bolivar is a legend whose Nobel Prize in literature proposes, somewhat irreverently, to tell the story of the last days the tone of "grandeur and decadence."
, it is, therefore, the account of the last trip, the flight when Bolivar resigned, and the various former rulers of Spain, instead of uniting as the Libertador would like, tear each other apart. Weakened by many years of wars, travels, and palace intrigue, Bolivar is dying at only 47 years old. Gabriel Garcia Marquez depicts him as an older man who rambles and oscillates beyond like a pendulum between the memory of past glories and the bitterness of dying without achieving Latin American unity. Therefore, this historical and glorified story constitutes an attempt to humanize an icon adored and undoubtedly unrecognized as a man, with his illusions and disillusions, weaknesses, and mood swings.
Under the pen of Garcia Marquez, Bolivar becomes a somewhat pathetic and endearing older man. This reading is also an awareness of our relationship to history and "great men," all of whom have known something without knowing who they were. Beyond the historical narrative, this reflects the author subtly invites us and is central to appreciating the novel.

Est谩 visto que ni coroneles ni generales. Para m铆, en cuestiones militares, de M谩rquez no me vale nada por debajo de Patriarca.
Me aburr铆 en este laberinto de nombres, fechas y lugares, de ambiciones, traiciones y rivalidades pol铆ticas, en el que se dan demasiadas vueltas alrededor de la misma idea. Aunque tambi茅n tengo claro que nada de esto hubiera tenido importancia si no me hubiera dejado tan fr铆o la mezcla de cr贸nica period铆stica y biograf铆a novelada en la que no he encontrado ni uno solo de los elementos de la grandeza que el autor me ha mostrado en sus otras obras. Eso o que no he sabido disfrutarla como en general no disfruto nunca la novela hist贸rica. Habr谩 otras oportunidades.

Eso o que no he sabido disfrutarla como en general no disfruto nunca la novela hist贸rica. Habr谩 otras oportunidades.

Idleness was painful after so many years of wars, bitter governments, and trivial loves.
The profundity of Sim贸n Bol铆var鈥檚 vision became the bane of his life. He was destined to be the man who led the Latin American people to freedom from the imperial rule of Spain. Having broken the shackles of slavery he took over the uncontested leadership of the vast continent as the President with the singular aim of unifying the freed countries of the Americas into "the greatest republic the world has ever known,鈥� a dream that was never to come true. In this historical novel, Marquez leads the reader to travel in the heavy footsteps of the despondent and disillusioned General on his final voyage along the Magdalena river to tell the unmagical story of shattered dreams, broken allegiances, dead glories - made all the more intolerable by the General鈥檚 terminal illness.
This is a portrait of the man, Sim贸n Jos茅 Antonio de la Sant铆sima Trinidad Bol铆var y Palacios, not a politico-military biography of the great General who came to be known as the Liberator, and to whom generations of Latin Americans have sung songs of praise and gratitude, and in our times have named their countries after him, finding in his person a newfound confidence to defy another empire in the north that sees them as 鈥渙ur backyard.鈥� But here Marquez, without ever stating it, is poised to dispel the myths, spun, on one hand, by the great mass that loved and admired him and, on the other, by his enemies and detractors among his own people who had once broken the bread of victory alongside him in the wars of liberation.
Bol铆var's rise and fall is told in flashbacks within the frame story of his last river journey, which he undertook when he renounced power after an assassination attempt, to highlight major events that shaped him to become the man we have come to know. An able soldier and a great military strategist always in a state of flux, he could enact whole battlefields on his mind's screen with all the moves and strategies to be employed for various contingencies, is now relegated to his sagging hammock in which, lying at night like a deadweight, he mumbles incomprehensible twaddle in the state of recurrent delirium, such that his faithful servant, Jos茅 Palacios, cannot tell whether his master鈥檚 thoughts are trapped in the throes of a nightmare or entangled in the state of waking.
He is stricken but not defeated. Life had already given him sufficient reasons for knowing that no defeat was the final one.
He cooks up imaginary battles to wrest Riohacha from the insurgents who are destroying the unity of the continent, but suddenly finding his army on the defensive, crashes into his chair. One day he announces his immediate intention to pack up and set sail for Europe to die there; yet the next morning he takes baffling detours and lingers on for weeks in a place, waiting for some portent to tell him which way to go. In a Marquezian slant the rigours of madness become a saving virtue; it is precisely his illusions which are keeping him sane.
During the last months of his life he became an ungainly mass of calcified bones and poisoned flesh held together by the pale leather of his cracking skin, whose purpose of mind no one understood, whose purpose of mind he himself did not understand.
Marquez evokes the starkly beautiful terrain of the Amazonian wild tropics with imagery that permeates the ancient landscape of his One Hundred Years of Solitude. It seems the General must have stopped at Macondo on his voyage along the Magdalena. Marquez does not mention the town perhaps because it鈥檚 fictional or does not fall along the coast, and this story is supposed to be an historically accurate depiction, which it is, save for some auxiliary details which are used to enhance Bol铆var's character and to embolden his human dilemmas, enacted for the reader through the eyes of a man to whom the world had appeared a miasmic swamp of dead bodies and dead hopes. In that, Marquez has weaved an astounding horror story.
True to the maxim that there is humour in human tragedy, Marquez embellishes this sad story with the strokes of a tragicomedy in the General鈥檚 fatalistic and self-loathing utterances that confound and dishearten his loving supporters, but the General cares naught. I will illustrate it with two small examples.
A German adventurer came down to the continent to capture an oddity he鈥檇 heard described "a man with rooster claws," to put in a cage and display in European circuses. He told of his wish to the General when they met during the voyage along the river. The General had found another opportunity to direct his mordant sarcasm at himself. "I assure you you鈥檒l earn more money showing me in a cage as the biggest damn fool in history.鈥�
On the General's orders, his orderlies had taken on board an emaciated and limping dog found along the banks suffering from a horrible case of mange. The General bestowed special affections on the awful-looking creature, fed him by his own hand, played with him, and spent more time with him than he would with his young lover. After a few days on board鈥�.

He was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finish line. The rest was darkness, 'Damn it,' he sighed. 'How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!

I always feel a twinge of pity when someone tells me, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 read for pleasure any more鈥� or 鈥淚 only read non-fiction.鈥� Most of the pity is sympathy for the fact that, in today鈥檚 busy world, we just don鈥檛 have the time. Whenever someone expresses awe at the number of books I read in a year and asks me how I do it, I say, truthfully, that I make the time to read, just as I make the time to write these reviews. So I realize that the act of reading is itself a commitment, an investment of time and energy, and it鈥檚 a shame we don鈥檛 have more opportunities for it.
Still.
The rest of the pity goes towards the smaller worlds in which people who don鈥檛 read fiction must live. Non-fiction is great. I love a good biography, history, or science text. But let鈥檚 be honest here: I would never, ever pick up a non-fiction book about the history of South America. It鈥檚 just not a topic that it would occur to me to read about, let alone something I鈥檓 interested in reading about as non-fiction. Even if someone gave me such a book as a gift, I鈥檇 probably struggle through it. I鈥檇 likely find it dry, confusing, difficult to relate to. The sad truth is that I learned absolutely nothing about South American history in school. While we focused on the founding of Canada and the various World Wars, South America itself was a big question mark on the map, dangling off the end of Mexico.
Hand me a novel set in nineteenth-century South America, though, and then we鈥檙e on more solid ground. Therein lies the power of fiction: it can be a tool of education as well as entertainment. It can create empathy for characters whose lives are incredibly different from our own. And it also exposes us to facts and ideas that we would never be interested in reading as non-fiction items. I don鈥檛 want to read a biography of S铆mon Bolivar. I did read a fictional account of his last days as he journeyed into exile.
So with The General in His Labyrinth, Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez contributes to the closing of another massive gap in my knowledge of world history. Through this sliver of story I have glimpsed the genesis of the countries of South America and the remarkable role Bolivar played in their founding. I鈥檝e also enjoyed a slow and meditative look at the mind and last days of a man of many deeds and many contradictions.
Garc铆a M谩rquez refers to Bolivar throughout as only 鈥渢he General". He could just as easily have chosen 鈥淧resident鈥� or 鈥淟iberator", so in choosing the first mode of address, he emphasizes Bolivar鈥檚 military past. This is a man who is not a politician so much as a warrior and a strategist. His vision is that of the conqueror and the liberator; peace, for Bolivar, was not ever really on the table. This theme reverberates through the novel, which does not follow a straightforward chronological path; in both the past and the present, chaos seems to stalk the General at every turn.
His past is a patchwork of unrest and rebellion. Even after wresting control of South America from its absentee Spanish overlords, the General finds that pacifying his own people is itself a task of a lifetime. His dream of a unified South America recedes ever into the distance, and though every government affords him the highest honours, he is regularly the subject of assassination attempts. This mirrors the present, which has an illusion of restfulness and closure, at least within the General鈥檚 inner circle. Without, Garc铆a M谩rquez depicts almost comical efforts to keep the General within a cocoon of misinformation: guards and servants conspire to keep him ignorant of the social unrest and protests that dog him from the start of the journey to its end. At every town, those in charge meet the General with open arms.
Of course, what makes this journey so special is the finality of it: the General is dying. Tuberculosis has ravaged his body to the point where many doubt he will survive to see Europe and exile. This spectre of mortality looms over every event of the book, as Garc铆a M谩rquez constantly reminds us through his regular descriptions of the various ways the General鈥檚 body betrays him. For a man who stood against Spain and ruled multiple countries, the end is just as ordinary as a peasant on the streets. The General鈥檚 body slowly deteriorates, and with it so too does his sense of agency. He clings, almost desperately, to the privilege of shaving himself in the morning, despite failing eyesight and a shaking hand.
With the end of the General, so too there is the sense of an ending to the situation in South America. As long as the General travels down the river, it feels like all of South America is paused. Things are happening, yes, but they are distant and indistinct events related back by hearsay and rumour. Nevertheless, this constant murmur creates a tension that will only dissolve upon the General鈥檚 death: only then can everything rush into motion, old alliances discarded and new ones brokered along lines that have been visible for months.
Garc铆a M谩rquez鈥檚 style is relaxing. Much like Jhumpa Lahiri in The Lowland , his reliance on artful descriptions over dialogue draws the reader into the ebb and flow of the narrative. It鈥檚 very easy to curl up with this book next to a fire and with a cup of tea and lose oneself in the General鈥檚 final journey into the annals of history. This isn鈥檛 a story in the traditional sense where things happen, one after the other, where a protagonist and antagonist do battle to resolve a conflict. Instead, it is an account, a detailed look at the last days of someone who made such a big impact on the world. Garc铆a M谩rquez spends little time attempting to rationalize the General鈥檚 actions or intent or even trying to get inside the General鈥檚 head. As the General鈥檚 manservant, Jose Palacios, would say: 鈥渙nly my master knows what my master is thinking.鈥�
And so, this is a restful book. It鈥檚 a book that invites contemplation and consideration, though it requires neither. It鈥檚 a book that offers few answers, preferring instead to offer up images and ideas, leaving you to come up with the questions yourself. It educates, but indirectly, and as discreetly as possible. It鈥檚 the perfect blend of history and literature.

Inside your labyrinth you鈥檒l meet your own private minotaur
A novel that mixes South American history with legend and the lush verbiage of a Nobel Prize-winning author can鈥檛 be bad. Yet, like too much dulce de leche ice cream, this story of the last months of Simon Bol铆var, liberator from Spanish colonial rule of much of South America, may prove overwhelming. As the sick, declining hero heads from Bogot谩, present day Colombia鈥檚 rainy capital, to the tropical northern coast down the Magdalena River (famously portrayed in 鈥淟ove in the Time of Cholera鈥� by the same author), he is beset not only by many physical ailments, but also by memory. He mourns his ultimate inability to construct a single large nation out of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. His dream of such an entity has collapsed into civil wars, coups, rebellions, and quarreling generals-turned-politician. He recalls the glory days when he won many a battle, but regards himself as a failure while many erstwhile citizens of these new countries still revere him as an all-conquering hero.
The slow disintegration of the Liberator himself and of all his hopes for a new continent occupies the entire book. There is no ancillary plot. He recalls a few lost loves, he gives away or forgets about his treasure, and is surrounded by doctors or soldiers. You meet many characters as he slowly progresses towards what can never be escape from his failed creation. As he sinks gradually into physical decrepitude, entering and leaving states of madness or delirium, he is stuck forever in the labyrinth of his mind and memories.
While I doubt if there will ever be a more literary exposition of Bol铆var鈥檚 life, readers from outside the Bolivarian region may find this volume to be more than they bargained for. It鈥檚 a tour de force, but probably not for everyone.

The Liberator of South America is very ill, nearing the end of his life, and has lost or given up all power. Going into exile, Sim贸n Bol铆var leaves Santa F茅 de Bogot谩, which at the time was the capital of Gran Colombia. He takes a river boat to depart, going north along the Magdalena River to the Caribbean, where he may catch a ship to Europe. Accompanying him are some loyal vassals, soldiers and servants, and lots of suspicion that he in fact is not abdicating his vocation of leadership and commitment to unified liberty of the continent.
What Garc铆a M谩rquez has done is not create a history of Bol铆var鈥檚 last months of life so much as give us a tapestry of images blurred and rough around the edges, of a man鈥檚 life, his memories, his impact on the people and the society and nations around him. At first I assumed I would be getting a literary biography, but that idea was fairly soon squashed. Look elsewhere to know how one man鈥檚 determination freed so many nations from the Spanish colonial grip. But look here to see how the man鈥檚 life ended, how intrigue and love and loyalty and faith shaped the tail end of one man鈥檚 astonishing life.

When I heard that had died, I walked over to my shelf of South American literature and picked up . The story is about the last days of Simon Bolivar, the Liberator, as he took a 14-day cruise down the Rio Magdalena to the Caribbean, from whence he would ship out for Europe.
But this was not to be. Not only was the Liberator dying, but he had the misfortune of seeing the proud republics he had founded falling prey to disunity and squabbling. In answer to the pleas of his friends to continue in the leadership, he backs off:
It was a kind of double sadness anticipating the death of this incredible conqueror, in the shadow of the death of Garcia Marquez, who wrote this book in 1989, a quarter of a century ago.
The General in His Labyrinth is, like others of his works that I have read, a simple story, bathed in the magic of the tropics, and told with a kind of sublime generosity toward his characters. There is not a shred of irony or post-modernism to destroy the effect. Garcia Marquez joins other great storytellers like Isaac Bashevis Singer and Nikolai Leskov in his respect for the primacy of the tale itself.
He will be missed.
But this was not to be. Not only was the Liberator dying, but he had the misfortune of seeing the proud republics he had founded falling prey to disunity and squabbling. In answer to the pleas of his friends to continue in the leadership, he backs off:
It was the end. General Simon Jose Antonio de la Santisima Trinidad Bolivar y Palacios was leaving forever. He had wrested from Spanish domination an empire five times more vast than all of Europe, he had led twenty years of wars to keep it free and united, and he had governed it with a firm hand until the week before, but when it was time to leave he did not even take away with him the consolation that anyone believed in his departure. The only man with enough lucidity to know he really was going, and where he was going to, was the English diplomat, who wrote in an official report to his government: "The time he has left will hardly be enough for him to reach his grave."And so it was. When Bolivar and his retinue reach the shores of the Caribbean, he temporizes about leaving while dealing with rumors of the dissolution of Colombia and Venezuela. He is half tempted to go back to war to restore Riohacha. Except he is desperately ill, and his moment of glory is past. Even as death approaches, he is a remarkable man; and his letters fly all around South America and the Caribbean trying futilely to hold all the pieces together one last time.

Garcia Marquez has the uncanny ability to make me fall in love with his characters. No, really, head over the heels in love, crushing hard, stomach churning, heart contracting. It happened the first time many moons ago when I read Nobody Writes to the Colonel, an aching story of loneliness and abandonment that brought me to my knees. This time I fell in love with Sim贸n Bol铆var. I can pinpoint the exact moment it happened, too:
Through his father and his mother he [Jos茅 Laurencio Silva] was a dark-skinned member of the lower class of pardo half-breeds, but the General had married him to Felicia, another of his nieces. During his career he had risen from a sixteen-year old volunteer in the liberating army to a field general at the age of fifty-eight, and he had suffered more than fifteen serious wounds and numerous minor ones, inflicted by a variety of weapons, in fifty-two battles in almost all the campaigns for independence. The only difficulty he encountered as a pardo was his rejection by a lady of the local aristocracy during a gala ball. The General then requested they repeat the waltz, and he danced it with Silva himself.
The image of these two friends dancing together after one of them was snubbed by racists was so vivid and clear in my mind, the beautiful resolution of an ugly moment. I know little about the historical Bol铆var; Garcia Marquez paints him as a man steeped in contradictions, trying to adapt to adverse circumstances, aiming for the best, but resigned to the worse. There is one consistent idea he never abdicates: that of the unification of South America. This was the dream of a Gran Colombia whose dissolution, he fears, would plunge into chaos a territory which extended from Panama to the Amazon river.
Bol铆var knows this land like the lines of his hand. Ever since he left his home town of Caracas to go to Europe as a teenager, he never stopped wandering. Upon his return to South America, he conspired, fought and liberated all these countries by marching incessantly from battlefield to battlefield, over mountains, down rivers, and into cities, in a mockery of today鈥檚 national borders. Homeless and uprooted, unable to return to his country and unwilling to compromise, his home became the Continent, or rather, this dream of a unified South America. If Gran Colombia persisted, then he鈥檇 be justified in his unending travels. He would finally arrive at something.
Marquez documents his last journey down and along the Magdalena river. Bol铆var tells everyone he鈥檚 going to a European exile, but no one believes him, least of all himself. He can鈥檛 tear himself off his dream, the land he gave his life to, and so he continues to wander aimlessly, hoping to become relevant again but knowing he won鈥檛, waiting for letters that won鈥檛 arrive, hiding his disease and denying his impending death.
Pursued by ghosts who died, betrayed him or simply stayed behind, the final 20 pages gift us a man at his most genuine: alone, aware that he鈥檚 dying, the fight slowly draining from him. Only then, perhaps, did he become truly great. Or truly human. What is the difference, after all?

In The General in His Labyrinth, M谩rquez takes the glorious figure of Sim贸n Bol铆var鈥攖he man who led the South American peoples in the present states of Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, and Bolivia to their freedom from the Spanish Empire鈥攁nd pours into the mould of his political imprint on the continent an endlessly humanising tribute. Reimagining the least documented period of Bol铆var's life, M谩rquez situates the liberator to reckon with his mortality and failures on his final journey down the river Magdalena.
Whereas the author's densely atmospheric and descriptive style (the beauty of which Michael Bell once described with the phrase "psychological suppleness") lends the prose in this book moments of magical clarity, this is in fact a decidedly unmagical tale. Bol铆var here is a man swirling about the last dregs of hope: having renounced power he is set to leave the continent forever, held back at the same time by a reluctance to let go鈥攐f power, of his dream of a united South American republic, one he would never fulfil, and; at last; of life.
In fact, M谩rquez urges one to read the General's body; so ravaged by tuberculosis that most people doubt he will survive to his exile in Europe; as intimately connected with this imagined nation. The spectre of mortality which looms large over every detail in this fictionalised account thus points not only at Bol铆var's impending death, but also at the country he fought for disintegrating before his eyes. This connection sees its clearest example in the manner in which the perfidies of his enemies are described and catalogued, as if it is these betrayals, and not the disease, that torment him to his death.
All that being said, I did find myself struggling with this book often and took an inordinately long time (ten days!) to finish it; not-entirely-pleasant experiences I attribute largely to my lack of familiarity with the history of Latin America. For fans of M谩rquez who are similarly under-educated on these topics, this may prove to be a magical read in the same way as 鈥�The General in His Labyrinth has all of the author's humour and narrative charms with hardly a smidgen of the magic realism that is his hallmark.
While it will go down as the least impressive M谩rquez I've read so far, it is still an astounding book. I particularly enjoyed the last chapter and the raw lucidity with which it articulates the tension at the heart of this biographical fiction, using the General's own last words:

This connection sees its clearest example in the manner in which the perfidies of his enemies are described and catalogued, as if it is these betrayals, and not the disease, that torment him to his death.
The writer undertook copious research for two years in order to fill out the characters in his fictionalisation, which is evident in the detail and veracity with which he describes the complex and often contradictory figure that the General was, including his ways with women, his often contradictory nationalist ideals, and his relationship with his slave and closest personal aide, Jos茅 Palacios. Though the Bol铆var that M谩rquez sketches out for us is frail and dying, he nevertheless exudes a dignified charm, and the memories of his youthful conquests weave in and out of the narrative like threads snagging in time.

He was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finish line. The rest was darkness.
'Damn it,' he sighed.

The General in His Labyrinth recounts the final voyage of a fascinating historical figure, Sim贸n Bol铆var, who secured South America's independence from Spain and was president of several nations, but who failed in his grand ambition to unite the continent. The character of Bol铆var is one of flaws and contradictions: a great yet humble man, ambitious in his aims, though not desirous of personal glory. He died in relatively modest conditions, having rejected political power and exhausted his vast fortune. It was perhaps his virtues as much as his faults that hindered unification, and instead left behind a foundation of uncertainty and instability for these nations to build upon.
I wish I'd had a greater prior familiarity with the figures, places and events of this novel; unfortunately so much of the historical detail was lost on me. But the novel is also about personal decline, about success and failure as seen in the frame of the finality of death. All this conveyed, of course, though Garc铆a M谩rquez's masterful prose, which moves with such gentle, understated ease between the present and the remembered past, constantly shifting between the internal and external, yet arriving at each consecutive point in the narrative in a way that feels entirely natural and consequential.

March 30, 2018Follows the last few weeks and days of the life of Simon Bolivar as he surrenders political power and travels down the Magdalena River to the coast on his last journey. While he travels there are reflections on his past, his role in the wars of independence against Spain and his political ambitions.
This is an interesting historical novel in (shades of here) that the author was trying to remodel the popular image of the man. Bolivar has been seen as a founding father for many of the former Spanish colonies but here we see his dream of a unified republic containing the modern states of Venezuela, Columbia and Ecuador dying as he too fades out of life as the river flows home to the sea.
The failure of his political ambitions will allow him to be recast as a safe patriotic icon and the man seems to struggle against this, the fate of a person to be recast as an icon as soon as he is barely cold in his grave, as he is racked with ill-health on his final journey.

鈥業鈥檓 old, sick, tired, disillusioned, harassed, slandered, and unappreciated.鈥� 268 pages waiting for a man to die is how I would describe this book.
A fictional recounting of the last months of Simon Bolivar as he is transported down the Magdalena river. Bolivar is at this time a shell of a man. Eating little, constipated, coughing and walking around naked at night. Attended by his long suffering aide Jose Palacios.
I know little of anything about him but the story picks out the angst of the man. The book ends with a My Thanks section where the Author explains how he wrote the work. There is also a short chronology of Bolivars life.
This is not one of Marquez鈥檚 magical realism works but his writing is rich and it was an enjoyable read. Bolivar dies on my birthday December 17 as I note also did Captain Beefheart. But I digress.

A story about the last days of Simon Bolivar. Masterful.
August 28, 2018
An honest and compassionate tribute to a truly remarkable hero in the last days of his life.
September 15, 2008
Everyone knows of the big historical events that took place in the 1800 during the liberation of Latin America from the Spanish colonization that are of course associated with Simon Bolivar-aka the Liberator. Apart from his vision for a united Latin America that would form the biggest country that would be "half of the world," his wars for integration, and his glories, no one cares to know about his end.
Gabo had to do extensive reasearch for two years, contacting people from so many different walks of life to make this book about the general's final 14 days during the trip along the Magdalena River, as accurate as possible- he even had a university professor help him in figuring out all the days in which there was a full moon during those years...
The book gives a totally different image of Simon Bolivar who is a hero to many and a villain to some. the book reveals the flesh-and-bone man, with his obsessions, sickness, weaknesses, and above all vulnerability. It helps us understand how one's childhood and youth affect who you become, and your life as an adult affects how you die. His vulgar language, his constant fevers and delirium, his sexual adventures, all define the stories of the men and women who were involved in his life and were kept together around it even after it faded away.
The Bolivarian dream lives on...

This novel is a fictionalised exploration of the glorious figure of Bol铆var, known as the Liberator of South America. M谩rquez does not reduce his characterisation to only concern the glamour of political and cultural legacy, but unabashedly writes the man as a man. He depicts the mortal ordeals, the illnesses, the bodily pleasures and pains that exist in the figure of Bol铆var.
I appreciate the unfiltered, demystified portrait that M谩rquez paints with his words, although I can鈥檛 say that I overly enjoyed the experience of reading.
